American Banker, which frequently surveys visitors on the publication’s homepage, has extensively covered the recent federal financial laws, particularly concerning the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Dodd-Frank Act. One poll focused on President Obama’s choice of Richard Cordray to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over Elizabeth Warren. The results displayed an overwhelmingly negative response, with 62 percent of participants indicating they believe Cordray is a “greater threat to bankers than Elizabeth Warren.”

The publication took a more lighthearted look at the Durbin ruling in the Dodd-Frank Act, posing the question: “Which movie title best represents the Dodd-Frank Act?” Readers were incensed by the Federal Reserve Board’s decision, and it was a close race, with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest narrowly beating out The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
